COWARDLY BEASTS.
The Real Nature OF Americas Large Car
nivOrous Quadrupeds.

niNOrOus Quadrupeds.
The prevalent idea entertained by
those not familiar with the real nature
of our large carnivorous quadrupeds,
believe their instructive ferocity inn
pels them TO assault every person they
meet. is not sustained by practical ex-
perience.
Those animals appear much more
formidable in the distance than when
approached in their own native wilds.
But few Eastern sportsmen would. it
is believed, voluntarily attack bear.
wolf or panther. yet have seen and
killed many of those animals. and not
one of them ever turned upon me.
And in further confederation of this,
my guide, Little Bat, who has DUR
ing his lifetime killed over eighty griz-
lilies, assured me that all he ever met
invariably ran from him.
So confident was he of his ability to
cope with these much-dreaded mon
sters that he did not hesitate TO hunt
them when alone and on foot. and
only two years ago he encountered
four grizzlies eating a dead elk upon
Casper mountains. when he crawled
10 within short rifle range and shot
every one of them without moving
from his tracks, and upon another oc-
casion, while we were hunting in the
valley of the Big Horn, he went out
alone during moonlight night and
shot two grizzlies from behind tree.
Panthers and wolves are most arrant
towards. and the traditional story of
General Putnam having performed an
ex raordinary feat of courage by en-
tering a cave and shooting a wolf is
extremely laughable when contras ed
with the fact that my wife upon one
occasion, in the night time, at 'front.'
Ter post. when large black wolf had
purloined one of her turkeys and was
dragging it off, hurried out and with
stick made him drop the bird and run
away. Outing.

Mutton for Farmers Use.

One of the advantages in keeping
sheep is that the farmer who does it
can at almost any season have fresh
meat for the table when be likes.
Next TO poultry it is the standby for
sudden emergencies when there is not
time. nor perhaps the money, TO buy
fresh beef in the city market. Farm
ers who keep sheep can accommodate
each other by exchanging, so that each
may have half or quarter for use
while it can be kept fresh. With ice
and a refrigerator in the cellar meat
may be kept a week or more even in
warm weather. These are old-fash-
toned methods; but they are part Of
the farmers privileges and happy are
those so situated that they can still live
up to them. St Paul Pioneer Press.

During the present cold snap, with the
thermometer ranging from l29 to 2S7
below zero, the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul railway has been experimenting with
steam heating for passenger trains. The
experiments, It is announced to-day, have
shown that the system adopted is perfect
success, and, commencing Dec. /, the
